THE FIRST NOVEL IN J. D. ROBB’S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING IN DEATH SERIESIn the year 2058, technology completely rules the world. But for New York City Detective Eve Dallas, one irresistible impulse still rules the heart: passion…Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer. In over ten years on the force, she's seen it all—and knows her survival depends on her instincts. And she's going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire—and a suspect in Eve's murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it's up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about—except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.

"After a long slum of classics, this was the perfect book to drag me out of a reading slump. The book was fast-paced, well-developed, and well-rounded. I think the book excelled in many aspects of the story, so I’ll just be listing out minor issues that I found.<br/><br/><br/>*SPOILERS BELOW*<br/><br/><br/>First off, the synopsis is kinda of misleading of the relationship between Eve and Roarke. Yes, he’s presumed to be a leading suspect, but he gets cleared of that suspicion pretty early on in the book. For the remainder of the story, he becomes a side character whom Eve interacts with sometimes. <br/><br/>Plot twist? I guess. The plot twist was a twist indeed, but not as surprising as I had received it. At most, it was slightly disappointing. <br/>————————————————————————————————————————————<br/>Other than that, I think the book was an adventurous mystery crime novel with a fleshed out plot and array of characters. Praise to Nora Robert, Eve Dallas was a solid and consistent character throughout the book. Robert’s character personalities were diverse and interesting to see. I think whenever I’m bored, I can always pick up another Eve Dallas book!"
"Just finished. Was not expecting the twist at the end"

"I had forgotten how fast Roarke and Eve moved in this. On the reread, it a touch too fast, but in the end, I didn't mind since I liked how the "who dun it" part played the most important role.<br/><br/>At the moment, I'm up to book 37 and it's remarkable all the details I had forgotten. On this reread, I'm glad to be able to make notes of what is important (to me) and keep track. Like, for instance, the introduction of Charles. Oh, how I forgot about him but I enjoy him so much."
"Eve Dallas is a great detective, the best New York could get when the world isn't the only place anymore since its in the future and they have space stations. After wrapping up one case she gets thrown into a homicide case. A note says one of six. The leads take her each which way but the most prominent one keeps pointing her to a self-made billionaire named Roarke that every girl wishes she could have. The cases also make Eve remember childhood past that she thought she had forgotten. Is this billionaire so into power he is doing the killings? Is Roarke the person Eve can depend on to help her with her feelings and finally coming to accept the terms of her past?<br/>I had read one of these before and enjoyed it emmensly and decided I needed to start from the beginning. So, here I am reading book one and going to go through the whole series! I loved the relationship that builds between Roarke and Eve and how the case unfolds and how the truth comes out about the killer! Highly recommend this series to everyone that reads or wants to read!"
"I have never read the books by JDRobb but am looking forward to reading the next book in the series."
